Holiday Weekend on the Water

Doug Wynn

For July 3, 2025

Happy 4th of July holiday from the Excel BP230. We begin the holiday weekend with the tragic death of a lady who was fishing with her husband on Jonathan Creek when their boat was ran over by a bass boat. I talked to two witnesses of the accident who dove into the water to try to save the lady. They got her onto another boat that took her to a nearby dock. Sadly she passed away. Witnesses said the lady and her husband were waving and ... Continue Reading...

Anglers Get Short Reprieve From Heat

For June 27, 2025

Kentucky Lake’s fishing scene has been sizzling. Not necessarily from the bite but from the crazy heat that has dominated for well over a week.

These locations can be a hump, creek channel, an underwater point, roadbed, or a long bar or ridge. The bigger the area the more ... Continue Reading...

Crappie Bite Great Despite Water Color

John Morgan

For March 14, 2025

Starting spring off with warm temperatures and fairly stable water levels has got several fisherman out on the water. Most have been greeted with a better than expected bite for our conditions. Several rounds of heavy rain have a big portion of the lakes heavily stained. This is usually not good for the crappie bite. This spring seems to be an exception. For the last two weeks the crappie bite has been great on fire. I've never seen crappie ... Continue Reading...
